Cultural heritage in the spotlight at Ybor City Fiesta Day
The Ybor City Chamber of Commerce in honouring the cultures of Ybor City in Tampa during the 75th Fiesta Day celebration on February 26, 2022.
Opening ceremonies will be at Centro Ybor. This year’s event is presented by J.C. Newman Cigar Company.
Vendors will line 7th Avenue and feature a variety of cultural foods, arts and crafts, and specialty products. There will also be live entertainment, on the Fiesta Stage, in Centro Ybor, and along 7th Ave. throughout the day.
During the celebration, a Promenade of Flags will march down ‘La Septima’ (7th Avenue) at 2:00 pm and showcase countries that have made Ybor City their home.
Fiesta Day commemorates the history of Ybor and highlights the heritages that first immigrated to the ‘Cigar Capital of the World’.
A time that was originally a day of rest for the factory workers has turned into a street festival that brings together Cuban, German, Italian, Spanish, and Jewish heritages.
Ybor City is known as a melting pot of culture based on its immigrant population. This all-day event features the traditions of these cultures that have influenced the community and still thrive today. Take a stroll through the historic district and experience the old and new of Ybor City.
